If I have 3feri out does this just become Five or Fiction? I get five and their card is fiction? It should work the same way as Finale of Promise, right? Plus, upticking 3feri let's me cast this on their EoT.
I'm 300% on board with making this work.
If you want to run four colours then sure, anything is possible.
The card has its uses in standard but i don't see it being that huge outside of it. Remember that what makes Fact or Fiction better than Steam Augury is the card quality/selection and not the quantity.
Sure with litle teferi you make the opponent unable to cast the card but he/she will still be able to remove the best card from your "draw"
This card sadly crunches out a new Arixmethes card or themed around him. I didn’t expect A new version of him despite his popularity though because land creatures may be too much for a
Standard set. Here’s to hoping for a simic saga “sinking of Arixmethes” or a legit land for the city he’s carrying? Time will tell
before someone says loledhstaple consider that you're already in black meaning you can tutor and draw very easily, its 5 mana so if you need to draw that many cards especially with access to black you're probably already losing and paying 5 mana to hopefully get enough fuel to recover isn't likely, you're also in black... so chances are you're either giving them a tutor, a means to blow you out, or just something that pushes them over the edge. there's just so many better options than this thing.
it won't see standard play, and if you're playing it anywhere else other than maybe limited you're a fool.
Maybe if this was 4 mana, but other than that still most likely not playable.
4 cmc would be so broken. If you play with the downside in mind, i.e. 3feri, then it'd be 4cmc draw 5, possibly at instant speed. We don't need more brokesauce cards.

But how else will we fill the empty void of brokesauce cards without Once Upon Oko's Summer Veil?
The number of people wanting powerful cards with no downside is staggering. Deck building is about minimizing or negating flaws on otherwise powerful effects, not taking a path with no bumps. SonofaBith75 mentioned Kaervek, and Teferi/Grand Abolisher shuts down spells cast outside of opponents' turns. In a group game, Allure of the Unknown could also be a political card when you need to gang up on someone, allowing an opponent to benefit from a spell you got.
This card is perfect for Queen Marchesa or some sort of black red politics commander. Provided beforehand the opponent you pick actually wants to use the card against another stronger opponent.
Even if your opponent gets the best card out of the six, if that card essentially kills you then you were probably going to lose on the next turn anyway. You might as well roll the dice and see what happens, which is a very black/red thing to do.

This card has EDH written all over it. There are so many ways to minimize the downside of this card and maximize the profit.
Give the pick of the liter to the person furthest behind. They are not a threat and you have made an ally by showing them kindness.
Imagine a game where I am going. Next up is Jeff, then Larry. Larry is winning the game. I play this card and let Jeff get the pick of the liter. Now I get 5 cards and Jeff gets the best card. Hopefully together we can tag team Larry down to a manageable level.
Imagine a game where you and Rachel are in clearly winning. Play this card and let Rachel get the pick of the liter. Then, as she goes to cast it, Counterspell her!
Some Fires of Invention decks already run 5 colors. 😎

art is pretty tip top at least.
Well we got the new Eidelon of Philosophy already, so... Yes, just not sure if they are the ones you want.
They’re dribbling these previews out worse than an old BPH morning piss with a UTI

its horrible ...
at least in Limited you get ahead, as long as your cards are somewhat equal in powerlevel.

Stuff like this is terrible card draw.
Would be way cooler if you could choose to grab cards from the opponents library and/or yours, anything really.

Any group game can benefit from it, though it's true that I haven't seen a group game that involves 60 cards.
